Collar Tie and King Post

Finishing the Collar Tie and King Post was one of the final things we had to complete before we removed the scaffolding from the living room of our Nelsonville new build. The Collar Tie is a beam located about halfway up in the cathedral ceiling. The King Post connects the center of the Collar Tie to the ridge beam of the roof. By covering the structural lumber of the beam with rough-sawn ply wood then staining we were able to match the beams in the kitchen.
